1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar O-104 - NGC F12

Mintage...23,464. Evenly Struck. Tompkins Die State 1/3. In this die state, the obverse has yet to form a break through star 3, while a rim cud has developed between ER on the reverse. O-104 is a rare die marriage, as are most varieties for the 1794 half dollar. Interestingly, the reverse die was produced using a unique master hub (see Tompkins p. 437 for distinguishing features). This Fine 12 example exhibits deep gunmetal-gray patina that lightens over the motifs, which show relatively good detail, especially on the eagle. The obverse exhibits numerous crisscrossing adjustment marks, but the surfaces are otherwise smooth. NGC Price Guide...$12,250
